Right to the core : A ruthenium(I) complex of corannulene, prepared in a solvent‐free environment, exhibits two coordination modes of the bowl: η 2 ‐rim and η 1 ‐hub (see picture for the hub‐coordinated complex; Ru purple, O red, C gray, H white). The latter represents the first example of a transition‐metal center binding only to the fullerene‐like interior of an open geodesic polyarene.
